Live in an original Kyrgyz yurt. Simple but very cozy.
А yurt is a home of the nomads of Central Asia. One of its special features is its round shape, which not only provides optimal wind resistance but also, peace and security. Welcome to beautiful Kyrgyzstan!

«Ethno Village Almaluu» always glad to see you.
Our Ethno village is located 7 km far from Bokonbaevo village in the Issyk Kul region 15 min walking from the beach. The exact location can be found on (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) map by typing the name "Ethno village Almaluu".
In the Ethno village breakfast is included in the price of your yurt room. Also if you wan to have lunch or dinner we can serve it for an additional fee. Lunch is 450 som ( about 7$) and dinner also for 450 som.
There's always a free hot tea, fresh bread, jam and honey to your convenience in the yurt-cafe.
We can offer you following activities during your stay in our yurt camp.
There are many cultural and traditional events where you can be involved in real Kyrgyz life. If we start we should talk about Kyrgyz horses. We organize nomad games. It consists of 4 horse games. They are “kok bory”, “kyz kuumai”, tyiyn enmei” and “eer oodarysh”. These games are one of the official games of World Nomad Games. If you are interested in horse back riding then it is a good time and place to do it. We arrange tours (trekking, by car and on horse back) for one day and more. However, if you prefer to know more about Kyrgyz tradition then we suggest you to visit Kyzyl-Tuu village where you can see yurt producing and building processes. There you go shopping opportunity. A visit to Felt-Art Studio workshop and participating in felt making classes with Kunduz Asanakunova. It is a chance to produce your own felt souvenir, and buy ethnic/nomad headwears, vests, dresses and felted silk scarves. In the evening we offer you Kyrgyz folklore if you want to. It is about Kyrgyz song and dance accompanied by kyrgyz instrument as komuz, ooz komuz, chopo choor and others. Moreover, it is possible to try archery skill and a real hunting with eagle and 2 taigans (hunting dogs). It lasts about 6-8 hours in the mountains. And we have a good news from 2016 year; a mobile sauna, it is a sauna on wheel redesigned to the sauna inside a military vehicle GAZ-66. Usually we drive to mountains, lakes, river and other places where you prefer to see. Also here is a sauna/banya in the yurt camp.

Nooriipa (I am not sure if I have spelt her name correctly) made me very welcome and looked after me during my stay. The yurt was warm and comfortable and plenty of food was available. Eugen was also very welcoming.

Tatiana is a wonderfull host. She and her husbend alexander living in a beautiful house. The room and shower are very clean and have a lot of privacy, with a big terrace outside. There is also a vegetable garden, lot of fruits trees and a small nice pool. We had great time staying there. Tatiana showed us all the beautiful places around and was a kind and considerate host. She was very considerate with our special diet and prepared what we asked. Her house is located in a dacha area, so you get the locall envirment experience. We enjoyed our time there very much.

Easy and smooth communication with Зауреш who speaks English, and, better, Russian. She is responsive and even if she was not at her house when we arrived, the entry was nicely organized. The room is simple. Toilet and shower are outside (which is not very practical, as the room is at the 2nd floor). The Wifi is ok but not accessible in the room. The breakfast is tasty and substantial. The downside I saw is that the house is off-centered, and finally not so near from the lake: situated at 5-6 km, on the other side of the main road from Balykchy to Karakol, you will need to take a taxi or to walk if you have no car. Thank you Зауреш for your welcome !

Marco Polo is a resort on lake Issyk Kul and famous for its sandy beaches. You can take an afternoon and swim in the lake with a gorgeous view of the mountains.

We had a wonderful time in Orgochor at Kayyr's house. Thanks for the great hospitatility. At her house you can discover the krygyz life and you will learn a lot about the krygyz culture. From Orgochor it easy to make day trips to places like Karakol, Issyk Kul or Dshety Oguz.

Abdan jakshy! Kayyr and her family went above and beyond in welcoming me and making sure I was taken care of. From picking me up from the village center to dropping me off at a nearby village at the end of my stay so I could catch public transit to my next destination - all the help was much appreciated and not expected. Kayyr even accompanied me at the corner store to help figure out reenabling my MegaCom service which I am grateful for since my Russian is not so good. The house itself is very spacious, with a nice shower, and the meals provided are authentic and delicious. Chong rakhmat! Recommended if you're especially looking for a quiet, homey place to stay and catch up on rest.

It was nice to stay at Jyldyz's place - I stayed with the family of her daughter who prepared dinner and breakfast. Check-in and check-out went well and they let me park my bike within their property which was really helpful. The WiFi was not working during the period of my stay. Thank you.

Despite a flat tire on the way which caused us to arrive 3 hours late, the Ashu Guesthouse staff were very welcoming and took our many calls to help get us there as easily as possible. They had warm dinner for us upon arrival, which was very welcome as it was freezing cold! :-) All in all I would recommend Ashu Guesthouse to anyone who wants to get away from the city for a relaxing weekend trip or add it into a longer itinerary. I wish more guesthouses in Kyrgyzstan were set up like Ashu!

Holiday in а yurt village, living like nomads in a real Kyrgyz yurt!
Welcome in Kyrgyzstan!
Live in an original Kyrgyz yurt. Simple but very cozy.
А yurt is a home of the nomads of Central Asia. One of its special features is its round shape, which not only provides optimal wind resistance but also, peace and security.
The individual components are made exclusively from high quality natural raw materials. The base material is wood: the concertina, soffit and roof poles are made of wood.
The floor is just like the yurt walls and roof, insulated by felt as in the old tradition. The door of the yurt is covered with felt and decorated with typical Kyrgyz ornaments. The yurts are furnished with Kyrgyz original art. There are no beds, just mattresses,
no chairs, just matting, so you can live just like the nomads. In order to sleep and sit there will be enough sleeping and seating mattresses.
The yurt village in the village Bokonbaev is located in close proximity to the legendary Issyk-Kul Lake. Issyk-Kul is the second largest lake in the world. It is situated at 1600 meters above sea level and is 182 km long and 668 feet deep. The water is slightly salty and does not freeze in winter. The lake is surrounded on all sides by up to about 5000Meter high mountains.

Nice place to stay like an old-fashioned Kyrgyz! Don't be scared to get cold or bored, «yurtas» are very warm, surrounding landscape is scenic, and you can get a chance to listen to traditional music during dinner.

Apple hostel is in the center of Cholpon Ata, the capital of Issyk Kul region, right across the historical museum. Within walking distance there is a Cultural center Ruh Ordo, Yacht Club and Petroglyphs. There are two canyons + hot springs nearby
It is $10 per night per person in a dorm room.

The Apple Hostel is definitely a quality place to stay in Cholpon Ata. I recommend it! Aigul went above and beyond to make me and my friends feel welcome. The rooms are clean, Aigul and the rest of the Apple Hostel staff speak English and are incredibly accommodating. They also served traditional Kyrgyz cuisine--which was very interesting for some of the other tourists staying at the hostel who were not familiar with the area. The hostel itself is right in the center of Cholpon Ata--with many stores easily accessible. And most importantly the beach is a 15 minute walk away. Stay at the Apple Hostel during your trip to beautiful Issyk Kul!

Host was very friendly, beds were comfortable, bedroom door didn't close properly so had to leave it open all night. Not a big problem. Would recommend this place as there's not many English speaking places in Cholpon Ata.

It is a hostel - very well run. Someone is cleaning here full time. Our host is very good even during the busy nomad games. I was staying in a nice guesthouse with my own room and decided to come back here because it is nice to sit in the evening with other people and learn about whats going on in the world.

We booked a room here only for Aigul to let us know the Cholpon Ata hostel wasn't open til may. Aigul quickly organised a private room for us at another hostel in Cholpon Ata at the last minute, which was exactly what we needed.

In Bishkek the place is right next to the bus station. This was wonderful for transport and also being able to describe where for taxis. In Cholpon Ata it was right in the center of town easy to find. They were very helpful about everthing. When I decided to leave Cholpon Ata early to horse trek she let me use the payment I made to stay at Bishkek before flying out. Both places were very clean. They have cleaners working 24/7. Also they called good taxis. Which was helpful. Some taxis I got on my own overcharged. They will help arrange tours and suggest places to go see. All staff was friendly spoke good English Aigul speaks Chinese also.
